Carter, an outsider even as he sat in the Oval Office as the 39th U.S. president, is being honored with the pageantry of a funeral at Washington National Cathedral.

Mr. Carter said his spiritual rebirth was an “evolutionary thing” rather than “a flash of light or a sudden vision of God speaking.”

On Jan. 9, after lying in state in the National Capitol rotunda, the former president arrived at the National Cathedral for a state funeral service.

Presidents Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush and Clinton attend the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter in Washington, D.C.

The Washington Post’s Kevin Sullivan described his experience visiting what would become former president Jimmy Carter’s gravesite in Plains, Georgia.

For a fleeting moment today, official Washington’s muscle memory will override its fast-twitch, knee-jerk partisanship as a distinctly American tableau plays out for former President JIMMY CARTER’s funeral.
